Why I trust loners more

Group mentality can cause pain

Cults, the Holocaust, and everyday bullying, groups can be a nice time, but how about when they turn dangerous? Peoples spines to stand up to anything turns to sludge.

There was an experiment done where people who were told to shock someone didn't when anyone was in the room but did when someone was telling them too. There are many of these sociology experiments done that show people will follow a crowd even if what they are doing is not moral. They are convinced, need a clear cut answer or reason, and suddenly they are all upin for whatever it is without saying anything.

Meeting a loner who has stood up for these issues is refreshing. Corrolation connection to popularity shows lower morals overall. This is why the people with most of the money and power use it to get big houses, boats, and take control of their image. They get what they want and if anyone counters at what they are doing, you better believe the entire group will come to smack down on you like it is a ring.

I applaud the few people who used their rise for helping others and being caring, but most of the time the most caring people to me don't have a lot of friends. We all teach we should have many and several likes on social media. This is all to be able to tell people who don't have a fan mob behind them they are toxic for not having that. The several voices can be louder and bolder.

Those who has to go at it alone are stronger. They didn't have constant cheerleaders bringing up their rear. They are more complex and interesting. It is funny when the popular people get jealous of this and try to mimic this type of strength getting their mob mentality people go back up that about them while they are actively the opposite. They would fall apart without their clan and approval team. They wouldn't know what to do with themselves or how to deal with not getting as high of watchers on them.

As I have sat and been sad for not being able to collect friends while those with many try to pretend to have my struggle. Funny how it is want want the other person has all the way around. Can't have it all and have to pick something. Everything has an up and down side. It is annoying people want to have 10 cakes and eat them all instead of just picking the flavors they really love and letting others eat on the rest. No, they gave to take it all and leave everyone else no dessert.

This is why I am proud of my community of people who don't care as much about fitting in. We stay to our morals in all situations and don't change then to fit a given moment. We don't do something bad when we think no one is watching and aren't nice for show while walking off and gossiping. I will be open where we stand and am not going to fake it to get by with you. I don't feel like keeping around people I don't want to be in the presence of. I am not wasting my functioning on groupthink dunderheads.

It is disturbing what people have let happen because of group followings. No one really assessing the group or why what is happening goes forward. Many people have died, been abused, and pushed from the life they should have enjoyed because of this issue. That is why loner types to me can be least toxic and others who rely on groups want you to think they are the killers when groups have conjured up massive amounts of hate.
